Question

What is the theoretical probability that the spinner below will land on 6 if someone spins it 48 times?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/4 or 12*

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8 possibilities.  2 of them are 6.

2/8=1/4

1/4 of 48 is 12

*The theoretical probability doesn’t change no matter how many times you spin the spinner.  It will always be 1/4.  (Or 0.25, or 25%). That could be what they’re asking.  If you spun it 48 times, it would probably land on a six 12 times.  That could also be what they’re asking for.  12:48 = 1:4.
